The third installment of the Austin Powers story features many of the same characters doing their normal things. In "Goldmember," Dr. Evil again tries to destroy the world, this time with a tractor beam and an asteroid, while Austin Powers tries to stop him. New characters include Goldmember himself and Foxxy Cleopatra. Starring Mike Myers, Beyoncé Knowles, and Michael Caine. Rated PG-13 for crude humor and many not-so-subtle sexual innuendos. Time spent looking deep inside the crazy mind of Mike Myers: 94 minutes.

Agents Jay and Kay are back and fighting aliens to save the Earth in "Men in Black II." This time, after Agent Kay is brought back into the fold, the two must stop an evil alien disguised as a beautiful woman from obtaining a powerful jewel. They must also get the jewel off Earth before it explodes and destroys everything. Starring Will Smith ("Ali") and Tommy Lee Jones ("Rules of Engagement"). Rated 'PG-13' for sci-fi violence and some provocative humor. Time: at 88 minutes it was almost as short as Broomfield's fireworks display.
